AGENDA APPROVAL Ed Scott stated that the motion to vote on the Quarter vs Semester Proposal was on the floor at the last general meeting when the quorum was lost and that that meeting should continue before the new agenda could be approved. Richard Scherer stated that since students interested in the new constitution for publications were present that the revised constitution for publications should be first on the agenda.

B. Quarter vs. Semester Proposal

Roger Scherer made the motion and Dr. Alex seconded it to limit debate on the proposal to twenty minutes. Thirty-one members voted for the limit and it passed.

Dr. Alex made a motion that the calendar change be adopted by polling all faculty members by secret ballot. After a lengthy discussion, the motion was voted on by show of hands. Twenty-seven voted for and sixteen voted

against. The motion carried, and the Committee on Committees will arrange for the secret ballot.

Ginny Hamilton made a motion that because of the importance of the proposal, that the proposal should be passed with a two-thirds vote of the voting membership. The motion was seconded by Dan Moore. After a discussion on the constitutionality of the motion and a count of the membership to be sure a quorum was still present, the vote was taken by show of hands. Thirty-four voted for the motion and four voted against it. The motion passed.

RE:

Chairman, UFA Committee on Plagiarism

May 5, 1993

Reconsideration of "Recommendations of UFA Committee on Plagiarism"

Attached please find the Committee's revised recommendations .

These revisions include the minor editing by President Veri and the addition of the word administrator to paragraph numbered 4. Please note that the language deleted by Dr. Veri ( "or the faculty representative") remains in paragraph 4. The words "faculty representative" fit within a larger phrase; this paragraph provides that a charge of plagiarism may be brought by "the faculty advisor or the faculty representative affiliated or otherwise involved with the organization or activity" within which the plagiarism occurred. The committee's purpose in using this language was to ensure a broader reading than might otherwise be available if only the term "faculty advisor" were used. For example, if an incident of plagiarism were to occur in the context of a writing contest, there may be no faculty "advisor" in the strict meaning of this term. As paragraph 4 is written, the faculty member involved in the contest would have the authority to bring a charge of plagiarism .

You will also note that the UFA remains as the entity responsible for selecting the faculty members of any hearing panels under paragraphs 8 and 9 of the recommendations. This decision was reached by majority vote of the members of the committee.

As a final note, I wish to mention that these recommendations have an impact on the student handbook and so need to be processed in an expeditious manner.

RECOMMENDATIONS OF UFA COMMITTEE ON PLAGIARISM

• 1. Plagiarism, whether it occurs in the classroom or anywhere else within the ssu community, is misconduct of an academic nature.

Incidents of plagiarism should be specifically excepted from the definition of Dishonest Conduct, as found in Paragraph Eon page 54 of the Student Handbook.

3. Plagiarism occurring within the SSU community, but outside the classroom, should be specifically added to the definition of Academic Misconduct, which definition is found on page 64 of the Student Handbook.

4. A statement should be added to the section on Academic Misconduct (page 64 of the Student Handbook) that, "Any charge of plagiarism outside the classroom may be brought by the administrator, faculty advisor or the faculty representative affiliated or otherwise involved with the organization or activity within which the plagiarism allegedly took place."

5. The first sentence of the last paragraph addressing academic misconduct, found on page 64 of the Student Handbook, should be revised by deleting the reference to the program director or coordinator. The initial decision whether to bring a charge of academic misconduct should be made solely by the faculty member.

6. When a faculty member decides to bring a charge of academic misconduct, the faculty member shall notify the chair of his/her department, or if no chair exists, his/her dean, before entering the charge against the student. Such chair or dean shall be available to consult with and advise the faculty member throughout the subsequent proceedings.

7. A student charged with academic misconduct may appeal the decision of the faculty member to a committee which would act in lieu of the Provost as the first level of appeal ( as described in the last paragraph on page 64 of the Student Handbook). This committee shall be composed of five faculty members, one from each the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Business, the College of Engineering Technologies, the College of Health Sciences and the Center for Teacher Education, and shall also include the Provost, or his designee, who would act as chair and who would have tie breaking voting power. The faculty members of this committee shall be drawn from a panel of ten faculty members, two from each of the above identified colleges. Each such college shall be responsible for selecting its two members to serve on the panel, giving consideration to the availability of at least one of the persons so named throughout the year. The next two levels of appeal shall remain unchanged, except as noted in recommendation 8 below.

8. Any Academic Misconduct Hearing Panel shall include two faculty members, both of whom shall be appointed by the UFA. (See page 59 of the Student Handbook.)

1. Any University Disciplinary Panel shall include two faculty members, both of whom shall be appointed by the UFA. (See pages 58-59 of the Student Handbook.)

Dr. Veri requests also advice/change on Sections 8 and 9 regarding "the UFA." Should "UFA" be changed to "the University Senate"?

Note: All references are to the 1992-94 edition of the student Handbook.

Constitutional Amendment proposed: A petition with the required 10% of the voting UFA membership's signatures has been filed with the UFA Executive Board. The following is the proposed amendment.

AMENDMENT:

The designated representative to the Chancellor's Faculty Advisory Council is, by current constitution, the elected Member-At-Large. The alternate is to be selected from the remaining four elected officers.

Section 4.5 EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER AT-LARGE -- The University Faculty Assembly Executive Board Member at-Large shall represent Shawnee State University on the faculty advising committee to the Ohio Board of Regents and report to UFA on the activities of the committee, and shall participate in all deliberations of the Executive Board. An alternate shall be appointed by the President of UFA from the other four officers to attend in the event the representative is unable to attend a given meeting.

We propose the following change:

Section 4.5 EXECUTIVE BOARD MEMBER AT-LARGE -- The University Faculty Assembly Executive Board Member at-Large shall represent Shawnee State University on the faculty advising committee to the Ohio Board of Regents and report to UFA on the activities of the committee, and shall participate in all deliberations of the Executive Board. An alternate shall be appointed by the President of UFA to attend in the event the representative is unable to attend a given meeting.

This deletes the words from the other four officers .

Rationale for the change: Many of our sister institutions send both the alternate and the representative to attend the Faculty Advisory Council meetings. Most of our sister institutions have representatives that serve for multiple years as that institution's representative. With our current restriction on holding office no more that two consecutive years and the wording which requires the alternate to be a member of the UFA Executive Board, we do not have this advantage. The proposed amendment would give us the opportunity to do as our sister institutions and have a person continue as a representative (or alternate) for more than the currently prescribed two-year term. In addition, it enables the President of UFA to appoint an interested person as alternate in the event that the members of the UFA Executive Board feel they are too busy to serve as alternate.

PASS FAIL POLICY May 5, 1993

Offered by the Student Affairs Committee of UFA.

The pass/fail option is designPd to encourage students to explore areas of study that they might otherwise hesitate to enter. It must be initiated by the student within the first 14 calendar days of a regular quarter or the first 7 calendar days of a 5-week term. The student's decision to take a class on a pass/fail basis is NOT subject to change.

To be eligible for the pass/fail option, a student must have earned an accumulative G.P.A. of 2.0 or better. First quarter freshmen will be considered as having met the above requirement.

The pass/fail option is subject to the following restrictions: 1) A student may complete up to 8 quarter hours to be counted

towards an associate degree or 16 quarter hours to be counted toward a baccalaureate degree under this option.

2) A student may take only one (1) course pass/fail per quarter. 3) Applicability of courses taken pass/fail toward a student's

major program of study is subject to departmental approval. 4) To receive a grade of P(pass), a student must earn a grade of

C or better in the course. _If a student does not receive a grade of C or better, a grade of N(nonpass) is awarded.

5) A grade will be turned in at the regular grade-processing time j will be converted to a P or an Non the transcript by the Office of e Registrar.

RECOMMENDED BY: A. L. Addington APPROVED BY:

1.0 GENERAL

1 . 1 Research is recognized as an integral part of the educational process to generate new knowledge, to encourage the spirit of inquiry, and to develop scientists, engineers, and other scholars. As a result of. such research, new discoveries and inventions (hereinafter collectively referred to as "inventions") may be made by faculty members , staff, and students of the University, which could have material commercial value or potential as revenue producers and which could contribute significantly to scientific, technological, social, and cultural progress. Such inventions may qual ify for patent protection. Patents are created by the Constitution and the laws of the United States to recognize the ownership of inventions by individuals in return for publication of the inventions by issued patents and ultimate dedication to the public after the limited period for which the law grants patent protection.

1 .2 The faculty members, staff, and students of the University are encouraged to evaluate the results of their research activities in terms of potential commercial value and the public interest, as well as for scholarly significance.

2. 0 BASIC OBJECTIVES

The basic objectives of Shawnee State University's Policy on Inventions, Discoveries, and Patents (hereinafter referred to as "Policy") are:

2. 1 To comply with the public policy of the State of Ohio with respect to the University's right to, and interest in inventions, including patents thereon, mandated by Section 3345.14 of the Ohio Revised Code.

2 .2 To make inventions developed in the course of University research available in the public interest under conditions that will promote their effective development and utilization.
